What Would You Do Without a Framework? Front-End Anew with Lit-HTML

In the front-end world there’s a never-ending chase for the mythical ultimate solution. And even though we’ll probably never find the framework that suits all, the search itself stimulates the progress and innovation. Let’s then look off the beaten path of React and Angular and check what might be created when mixing modern JavaScript and new DOM APIs with the frameworks-driven experiences.

During this talk we’ll meet lit-html – the library that easily abstracts the complexities of direct DOM operations – and its cousin lit-element, with which the Web Components are at our fingertips today. We’ll check how much you can have for that little and we’ll think whether lit-html may become the serious frameworks alternative.
